Mazzy: Axe or Halbredt ? Help me choose for my team

Ok, need help choosing, it's a though one for me

Should I specialize Mazzy in Axe, or in Halbredt ?

In my previous playthroughs, I haven't really used the best Axe / Halbredt that give 10% chance of decapitation without save in Throne of Baal. I have to think about the fun of the game in SOA as well, and what is mostly available there, and keep in the back mind the ultimate final wep. I will probably put 1 point in frail for frail of ages (I have a feeling I may need it in some special circumstances and there is no one else to use it)

My other warriors are Keldorn = 2 handed sword, and Jaheira = Spear (two handed wep)

Someone had suggested me to use two wep style, since my other two warriors are using two handed weps. But I don't understand why I would do that just because my other warriors have that. Unless... unless it is to use more of the weps in the game, thus having Axe on one hand, and say frail of age on the other hand... at which point I have answered my own question....

    Sorry, why are you discarding her skill in short swords?

    Maybe I can make the decision for you now. While the halberd has no save for its vorpal effect, the axe has a save vs. death at -4 to avoid.

    Some times it gets boring playing the same characters with the same weapons every time.
  • I would suggest Halberd, just because there are good halberds in SoA that never get used because none of the NPCs are set up with the right proficiency.

    So I should go Halbredt then? ;)

    Axe + Crom Fayer would be a decent choice too. Helps beef up Mazzy's pathetic 15 strength without sacrificing much on pip points.

    Axe gets you melee and ranged in one nice package and there are more in the game. You can skip the flail altogether and use Frostreaver and Stonefire instead for troll killing. Azuredge (right click it to set it to melee) for undead and vampires. All of these are available very early in the game and are +3.

    Thx. It's a though call. I will not be forging Crom fehr, I want to keep separate parts for all my Warriors instead, and I remember not liking it too much in the past.

    I guess double axe is another way, and gives some ranged when needed without switch. With halberds, I would simply switch to short bow..
  • Don't discount the damage that Mazzy can do with Gesen or the Tuigan Bow. Grandmastery and Fighter APR makes her one of the best ranged weapon users among NPCs.
